Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of the present research was to investigate the relationships between internet addiction, peer pressure and social support among adolescents. The sample of the study consisted of 558 adolescents (290 female 268 male) selected from high school 9th and 10th grade at Mersin. The data related with the internet addiction was gathered by means of Internet Addiction Questionnaire developed by Young (1998) and adapted to Turkish culture by Bayraktar (2001). The data related with the peer pressure gathered with the peer Pressure Questionnaire developed by Kıran (2002) and Perceived Social Support Measure developed by Yıldırım (1997) was used to measure the social support. To examine the relationships between internet addiction, peer pressure and social support, gender X peer pressure (low-medium-high), gender X peer support (low-medium-high), gender X parental support (low-medium-high) and gender X teachers' support (low-medium-high) design four different analyses of variance was applied to the Internet Addiction Questionnaire scores of the adolescents. For low, medium and high peer pressure, peer support, parental support and teachers' support, 0,5 standard deviation was used as cut off point. The results showed that the lower the peer pressure, internet addiction decreases. Moreover, the more the parental and teachers' support increase, internet addiction scores of the adolescents decrease. Furthermore, it was observed that internet addiction scores of the adolescents differed according to gender, and the internet addiction scores of the girls were lower than that of boys. Otherwise, no relationship was observed between internet addiction and peer support. The results were discussed in the light of related literature.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışmanın amacı ergenlerde internet bağımlılığı, akran baskısı ve sosyal destek ilişkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın örneklemini Mersindeki çeşitli liselerin 9 ve 10. sınıflarından seçilen 558 ergen (290 kız 268 erkek) oluşturmaktadır. İnternet bağımlılığı ile ilgili veriler Young (1998) tarafından geliştirilen ve Bayraktar (2001) tarafından Türkçe'ye uyarlanan İnternet Bağımlılık Ölçeği ile akran baskısı ile ilgili veriler Kıran (2002) tarafından geliştirilen Akran Baskısı Ölçeği ile ve sosyal destek düzeyleri ile ilgili veriler ise Yıldırım (1997) tarafından geliştirilen Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. İnternet bağımlılığı, akran baskısı ve sosyal destek arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla ergenlerin internet bağımlılığı ölçeği puanlarına, cinsiyet-akran baskısı (düşük-orta-yüksek), cinsiyet-arkadaş desteği (düşük-orta-yüksek), cinsiyet-aile desteği (düşük-orta-yüksek) ve cinsiyet-öğretmen desteği (düşük-orta-yüksek) olmak üzere dört farklı varyans analizi uygulanmıştır. Akran baskısı ve sosyal destek puanlarına göre grubun düşük-orta-yüksek olmak üzere üçe bölünmesinde 0,5 standart sapma kesme noktası olarak alınmıştır. Bulgular, akran baskısı düzeyleri düştükçe ergenlerin internet bağımlılığı düzeylerinin de azaldığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, aile ve öğretmen desteği arttıkça internet bağımlılığı puanlarının düştüğü de gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca, internet bağımlılığı puanlarının cinsiyete göre değiştiği, kızların internet bağımlılığı puanlarının erkeklerden daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Diğer yandan, internet bağımlılığı puanları ile arkadaş desteği arasında ilişki tespit edilmemiştir. Bulgular alanyazın ışığında tartışılmıştır.
